Newswire For The Week Of March 9th
Sunday, March 09, 2008
March 9th: ROH "Rising Above" gained rave reviews after its premiere last Friday on pay-per-view. Everybody is saying that the Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries bout lived up to expectations. "Rising Above" will replay on iN DEMAND today at 11am, Monday at 3pm, Tuesday at 3pm & 7pm, Wednesday at 6pm, Thursday in primetime at 9pm, Friday at 12pm and one week from today at 10am and in the tradition wrestling PPV timeslot of 8pm. Catch it on The DISH Network's All Day Ticket tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday. "....there is some great action and I wholeheartedly recommend this pay-per-view The final match alone is worth of the $14.95 that my cable company charged....yet another strong ROH pay-per-view with great matches and innovative storytelling." - Jason Powell at ProWrestling.Net
March 9th: Kota Ibushi's matches for his one week only tour of ROH have been announced. Ibushi, from the DDT promotion in Japan, blew ROH officials away when they saw him live at last July's NOAH Budokan Hall show. ROH officials tried to get Ibushi to the United States since that show and now it will happen in April. Ibushi is the kind of talent that must be witnessed live and he will only make one tour of ROH this year. ROH officials put Ibushi in the best possible matches to showcase his immense talents. Ibushi's schedule will be:
-4/11, Boston, MA: Ibushi vs. Davey Richards
-4/12, Edison, NJ: Ibushi vs. Austin Aries
-4/18, Detroit, MI: Ibushi & TBA vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe
-4/19, Chicago, IL: Ibushi vs. El Generico
